Outside My Kitchen Window

Hello World!

I'm still here, 
but have been locked in my sewing room.
When I haven't been at work,
I've been sewing.
More to come on that!

For now, I just wanted to let you know I was still around,
and share some photo's I've taken.
I have two bird feeders right outside my kitchen window.
I love it because while I'm cooking and/or doing dishes,
I get to see all kinds of cute little, feathered angels.

Like a chickadee.


Or a Wren

Or our state bird, the Gold Finch

Or how about the finch from 'the other side of the tracks,
the House Finch
:)


And saving the best for last,
my absolute favorite,
the Hummingbird



I could seriously watch them for hours.
They are on a feeding frenzy now,
gearing up to head to their winter homes.
My son gave me a new hummingbird feeder.
It's BEAUTIFUL!
I will get a picture of that soon,
before they leave.

A little off subject,
but just in case you are looking for a quick & easy project
for a gift, or just for yourself,
how about a cute little box pouch?


You can find the tutorial HERE.
I added the decorative stitch with a variegated yellow thread.
Have I told you I'm so happy to have my Josie back?

And to leave you on a peaceful note,
here's a photo I took before work the other morning.
I love walking around our property
(we don't have much...just 3 acres),
but surrounding the 3 acres is just beautiful country.


I have to say I think this is my favorite photo ever.
I love Iowa.
I love my life.
And I love fall!

Stay tuned, because I'll be doing a blog post on the most
incredible swap item I received over the weekend.
I seriously about fainted.

Make it a good one folks!!
xoxo
